The study is an intermediate result of a work process initiated by the Foundation to develop its specific commitment to international protection of human rights in cooperation with actors from civil society. The Foundation’s focus on human rights makes an emphatic start with the victims of hate crimes, analysing their situation, their interests and their need for empowerment and practical solidarity. After all, the Foundation itself is a result of an international political process benefiting victims of human rights violations, especially victims of forced labour under National Socialism who were bereft not only of effective resources to defend themselves, but also of social commitment from their fellow men. Moral, human, financial and legal gestures of recognition of this injustice were withheld for a shamefully long period after the end of World War II and wounded the respect due to the victims, as well as the principles of an indivisible legal culture. In remembrance of this injustice and the subsequent omissions, the Foundation aims to promote capacity building among civil society actors in future that will benefit vulnerable groups directly and complement existing preventive instruments. Not only does this study substantiate the existence of hate crimes in Germany and in Poland–two of the societies with which the Foundation plans to cooperate. The distinct gaps in systematic and critical monitoring and reliable data documented here lead us to fear that even today, in the heart of Europe, violations of the rights of for instance refugees, Roma or homosexuals continue to encounter a certain degree of social acceptance or indifference, instead of resolute advocacy of the same protection of rights, freedoms and dignities for all. The international commitment of the Foundation “Remembrance, Responsibility and Future” will aim to ensure availability of direct offers of legal and personal assistance to victims of hate crimes. The project is expected to run in Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic and Ukraine. The necessary training of appropriate NGOs and the cross-frontier sharing of experience should trigger sustainable impulses for improving the situation and legal position of victims of hate crimes and for sensitising the relevant groups in society. This is to be done in close partnership cooperation between actors in the countries involved. The present study documents the first intensive and practical German-Polish cooperation in the area of hate crimes. We wish to thank the staff of the two partners in cooperation, the Nigdy Więcej association from Warsaw and the registered association for victims Opferperspektive from Potsdam, above all for their committed response to our initiative, for developing a comparative analytical and conceptual framework for the study and 6 7 implementing this effectively up and down the country, as well as for contributing their valuable networks and their expertise, and last but not least for the careful preparation of this publication. Our thanks are due to the some 60 Polish and German interviewees from self-help initiatives and a wide range of associations for their trust and confidence in allowing us an insight into their work and for sharing their experience and their perspectives with us. This helped us to quantify the need for capacity building to assist the victims of hate crimes, whether this comprise legal, personal or psychological assistance. We would be grateful to receive any suggestions for development of the human rights commitment of our Foundation for the benefit of victims of hate crimes.

Title: Histories of Trauma, Futures of Identity, As Told by the Kitchens of the Polish Diaspora. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Bradley Boovy A recipe as a piece of text can tell a variety of stories as well as any other. Using a feminist rhetorical analysis, I read my grandmother’s personal recipe journal to show that her writings contain valuable information about women’s lives in twentieth century Poland. Through the close examination of three recipes, I argue that family knowledges inherited through cooking serve as a larger commentary on the social, political, and economic conditions of their lived experiences. The use of recipes especially prioritizes Polish women as cultural stewards and knowledge producers, as their work in kitchens is fundamental to the maintenance of the family and state.

  • Ecri Report on Poland
    CRI(2010)18 ECRI REPORT ON POLAND (fourth monitoring cycle) Adopted on 28 April 2010 Published on 15 June 2010 FOREWORD The European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) was established by the Council of Europe. It is an independent human rights monitoring body specialised in questions relating to racism and intolerance. It is composed of independent and impartial members, who are appointed on the basis of their moral authority and recognised expertise in dealing with racism, xenophobia, antisemitism and intolerance. In the framework of its statutory activities, ECRI conducts country-by-country monitoring work, which analyses the situation in each of the member States regarding racism and intolerance and draws up suggestions and proposals for dealing with the problems identified. ECRI’s country-by-country monitoring deals with all member States of the Council of Europe on an equal footing. The work is taking place in 5 year cycles, covering 9- 10 countries per year. The reports of the first round were completed at the end of 1998, those of the second round at the end of 2002, and those of the third round at the end of the year 2007. Work on the fourth round reports started in January 2008. The working methods for the preparation of the reports involve documentary analyses, a contact visit in the country concerned, and then a confidential dialogue with the national authorities. ECRI’s reports are not the result of inquiries or testimonial evidences. They are analyses based on a great deal of information gathered from a wide variety of sources. Documentary studies are based on an important number of national and international written sources.

Änderung Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, seit vielen Jahren begleiten wir – ausgehend von der Petition Nr. 1-18-12-962-004760 und verschiedener Initiativen des Leipziger Stadtrates – Bürgerinnen und Bürger, die sich für eine starke Einschränkung der sogenannten „kurzen Südabkurvung“ einsetzen. Die im Rahmen der geplanten Änderung des Planfeststellungsverfahrens zum Ausbau des Flughafens Leipzig/Halle durch uns realisierten Gespräche und durchgeführte Korrespondenz u. a. mit dem sächsischen Wirtschaftsminister, Herrn Martin Dulig sowie dem Leiter der sächsischen Staatskanzlei, Herrn Oliver Schenk, signalisierten uns, dass es denkbar wäre, dass die Route „Kurze Südabkurvung“ mit den früher angedachten Beschränkungen von maximal 30 Tonnen tagsüber beflogen werden wird.

  • The Construction of Ethno-Linguistic Identity Amongst Polish-Born
    The Construction of Ethno-Linguistic Identity amongst Polish-born Adolescents Living in the UK Sara Rachel Jane Young Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy UCL Institute of Education, University College London 2018 2 Statement of originality I, Sara Rachel Jane Young, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Sara Rachel Jane Young April 2018 Word count (exclusive of list of references and appendices) approximately 93,750 words. 3 Abstract Polish accession to the European Union (EU) in 2004 led to an upsurge in the number of Poles coming to the UK. However, little research in socio and applied linguistics has investigated the experiences of Polish-born adolescents resident in the UK. Following the UK General Elections of May 2015 and June 2017, and the Referendum on Britain’s membership of the EU in June 2016, the climate in Britain has become one of an increasingly virulent anti-immigrant discourse, especially against EU migrants. Against this backdrop, this research purports to investigate how Polish-born adolescents resident in the UK negotiate the construction of their ethno-linguistic identity. The study explores the experiences of eleven adolescents (aged 11-16) living in small Polish communities in semi-rural settings in southern England, with a predominantly white British demographic. Fieldwork was conducted in spring 2016. A narrative approach was used, whereby participants are encouraged to tell their own stories. Based on an understanding of identity as contingent and a site of negotiation, the study draws on the notion of identity as positioning within discourse.

Der Deutsche Bundestag stellt fest: Eine lebendige Zivilgesellschaft ist essentiell für den Rechtsstaat und eine wehrhafte Demokratie. Angriffe gegen zivilgesellschaftliche Akteure und Organisationen in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland haben in jüngster Zeit jedoch in beunruhigendem Maße zugenommen. Sie reichen vom Entzug staatlich institutioneller Förderung bis hin zu gezielten Diffamierungen und treffen eine breite Palette an gesellschaftlichen Bewe- gungen: von den Schülerinnen und Schülern der Protestbewegung „Fridays for Fu- ture“, der Deutschen Umwelthilfe, der zivilen Seenotrettung oder den Flüchtlingsräten und Beratungsstellen für Flüchtlinge. So beinhaltet das sogenannte „Geordnete-Rück- kehr-Gesetz“, welches sich gegenwärtig noch im Ressortverfahren befindet, zwei neue Straftatbestände, die auf die zivilgesellschaftliche Unterstützung von geflüchteten Menschen abzielen: einerseits die Veröffentlichung und Verbreitung von Abschiebe- terminen,
